I kid you not! The original car show is shown here in Germany in English with German subtitles. This bicycle show is all done in German. Instead of the vehicle being taken to West Coast Customs, it is taken to Elb Coast Psycles

I guess that's what happens when kids aren't allowed to drive cars until they're 18.

Here's proof I haven't been hitting the schnapps too hard:

Hehe, yes Bipa, i always watch Pimp my Ride and Pimp My Fahrrad over here, they are really funny, installing boxed speakers, radios and umbrellas on bicycles, ...... really exaggerated!!!! come onnnnnnnn!!! can't they do something simpler and... really classy? they remind me when i was a little boy, i used to put plastic machine guns on my bicycle and play with my friends....

....when the cop that pulls you over tells you (more than once) to stick your head closer to the window opening because he cant hear you through the glass

....when you dont know wether to be happy that your mechanic wont be using a "trial and error" repair method when he says hes worked on one before.... or sad because you just dont feel unique anymore

....when you smile because someone else has a 200hp v-8 that gets 18mpg
and they paid more than 6 grand for it.

Reminds me when i got pulled over the day i got the car (I had no tags... soo..)
and he was all weirded out cause the windows, asking about them and such.

The only reason i think i was pulled over was cause it was 4:20.

Hey BIPA.

Does German television still have a Dutch show where people have to make bikes and things to cross over the dikes for competition?

I wish I could get copies of that.
Or even of the "Some Mom's do have em" show.

Ever seen that one?

...when walking away from your car you glance back 3 to 4 times giving it a longing look.

probably already been posted, but just happened to me a week ago...

-when you become enraged over someone referring to your car as "That Probe..."

[kuroneko_sama]

i got mitsubishi eclipse AND plymouth lazer AND eagle talon.... all the same friggen car... all insulting.... and they asked if i did the window mod myself

[SilverSpear]

WRX and STI owners hate you... hahahahahahahahaha

...Your car is always chosen as the group ride even though the rear passangers are cramped.

...the person in the front passanger seat ALWAYS falls asleap on trips longer than 20 mins. (unless of course they are encouraging velocity related shennanagins)

... and you still only know of one or two.

Every car i've owned had issues, the 87 ranger, the 82 volvo, the 89 probe, the 93 probe, the other 93 probe, the 89 thunderbird, the 92 saturn, the 90 eclipse, the 92 eclipse, the 01 cavalier, the 90 eclipse again, the 93 mx-6, the 97 explorer(list in cronological order over a period of 6 years). All the while i've been to poor to have any fixed, so i've had to learn to do it myself. The SVX should be cake.

Note: when driving 89pgt don't wrap the speedo around to 15mph after passing the 110mph mark. You will cause the spring to break, and your dash to catch fire. Chances are you'll be 45min from home and no way to contact anyone, so you bust out a philips screwdriver, and 1.25" socket, take off steering wheel, dash cover, and remove instrument cluster to keep it from catching more fire, so you can drive home.
